even tho your cpu usage is low u are probably cpu bottlenecked, most games relies on single core performance while your cpus are optimized for all core applications

Westmere does not have AVX instructions so performance across the board is minimal. The only way these old Xeons keep up is to get a good cooler and overclock them. Of the 7 samples I’ve had all will do 4.2ghz, most 4.5ghz.

You need an upgrade honestly.
